Less of a meme and more of a youyou

[hackthis_archive]

(gacked from obsessedmuch)

I know very little about some of the people on my friends' list. Some people I know relatively well. I read your fic, or we have something else in common and we chat occasionally. Some of you I hardly know at all. Perhaps you lurk, for whatever reason. But you friended me and I thank you.

But here's a thought: why not take this opportunity to tell me a little something about yourself. Any old thing at all. Just so the next time I see your name I can say: "Ah, there's so and so...she likes spinach."

I'd love it if every single person who friended me would do this. Yes, even you people who I know really well. Then post this in your own journal.

My personal goal is: to get over my writer's block, write my Obscure Santa thingy, and perhaps do something illegal this weekend.

I aim high.

I talk entirely too much, but this is obvious. I still have an unhealthy amount of appreciation for princess dresses, I think. I often do confuse myself. I want to live in a cottage by the beach, probably alone, and I still think that'd make me happy. It'd take me awhile to get tired of just reading and writing all the time and doing nothing else. Especially if a large percentage of the reading was porn. I crush on like, every 10th person I see that's cute, it's kinda scary. I'm a spaz, I really am. I sometimes think I like words more than people. I like lists but I never make them for useful purposes. If I was petite & pretty I would -so- be a slut :> :>

I friended you because, despite the fact that I was strenuously trying to avoid all "O.C." fic, you sucked me in with "Telegraph Avenue" and I'm a better woman for it. My favorite form of spinach is in a spinach and crabmeat dish I had at a tapas restaurant once, though I used to eat it by the pound as a toddler and preschooler. Perhaps the most notable fact about me right now is that I'm studying to be a teacher.

Hmm. I friended you so I would know the instant an incredibly hot, sexy, fun, hilarious OC story was posted. And then, of course, I found out I'd read and loved a bunch of your Smallville/HP/X-Men stories. That was a good day. I love being proud of myself for my good judgment.

Anyway. Me? I'm in college, I get lost everywhere I go, and I have an insane love for Seth Cohen. Pleased to meet ya!

Um, let's see...I popped over here for your O.C. fics, and stuck around when I decided there was something freakishly familiar sounding about 'zahra' and soon realized that I was already a huge fan of your hp and x-men fics.

A few things about myself..um...

I'm mildly *cough* obsessed with hockey. And not just any hockey, the 'Nucks. Seriously, ask me any hockey fact from the now and I'll be able to pop the stats right out. This is particularly strange considering that up until two years ago I lived in a place that didn't have a hockey rink for a 1000 miles or so, and the only hockey player I'd ever heard of was Gretsky. And that's only because I'm obsessed with The Mighty Ducks movies.

I can actually honestly claim that I like all types of music, though not all artists. I'm a triple citizen of the US, Canada, & Australia, and can't stand it when people stereotype any of them.

My friends find it strange when I lock myself in a room, turn my headphones up to their highest point, and run back and forth across the room talking to myself. But other than that, I'm really a very boring, totally guillable and predictable gal.

Oh yeah, I've never actually had spinach before. It's green and I usually avoid food that's green.

I play the viola and I still sleep with my favorite stuffed animal, a very soft and good-natured pig named Bobby.

I desperately want to work at Coyote Ugly. Or be a Bond girl. Can you sense a theme?

I'm a 17 (almost) boy scout, sea scout, and girl scout. Go on, ask me how.

and hi. i'm de-lurking here. :)

[concernedlily.livejournal.com]

Hi, I lurk for more immediate access to the wonderful fic. I'm not keen on veg, but I believe chocolate advent calendars ought to be a year-long thing.

Hi!

Canned spinach is one of the most disgusting things available for purchase.

About me: I lurk, heavily. After a year of checking 20 different LJs daily for fic, I finally decided to open a LJ account and let LJ do it for me. I love your OC fic so much that it’s made me like the show more. The only other fic I read is lotrips, with which my spousal equivalent is finally coming to grips. For so many reasons, I think that the Clash is the best rock band ever. Every year, I plant about 45 tomato plants and eat tomatoes at every meal for months and get stomach ulcers.

You beta for me sometimes. I'm underage. All the boys I've ever kissed had girlfriends at the time who weren't me.

My personal goals: To actually write my Everwood Secret Santa story, and to get into college.

[darkvictory.livejournal.com]

umm..okay, lesse, sumpin' 'bout me....uh...I like old movies? Like classic Alfred Hitchcock and Buster Keaton and German movies from the 20's and 30's and just about anythin' else.

[sundaysunday.livejournal.com]

My feet smell funny.

I sleep a lot. I can't think of a single good reason to get up before 1 AM on a Saturday morning. But at my best, I can go for nearly two weeks with maybe an hour or two of sleep a day.

I'm like a big TV & fashion encyclopedia for my friends. They always come to me to know what is new on TV and what is the latest trend... and after lightly mock me for knowing the answers

My hair has not been its natural color since 1997. I can't really remember what color it's supposed to be anymore.

I went through a really punk phase before I got to lazy to keep up the image.

[scribblinlenore.livejournal.com]

I really only like black shoes. Sometimes I force myself to buy other colors, but I hardly ever wear them.

[youdbesurprised.livejournal.com]

I am also from the land of lurkdom. I'm one of the randomites you gave LJ codes to a while back...

So, the unique things. I knit. I make pottery. I like vegetables, except for brussels sprouts, which are like tiny evil cabbages. I enjoy X-men to a degree that's probably unhealthy. I just graduated from college, and I can't wait to go back.

And I think you're a good writer :)

[the-larch.livejournal.com]

Dude, this meme is making me crazy! Mostly because I suspect that all the people who ask for it will never have time to actually read all the responses they're getting. But anyway, none of that is your fault, and I love you. You write the best X-Men and O.C. fic in the universe. Go, you.

Interesting thing about me #174: I once lived in a cave in the desert in Spain for a month. And I absolutely loved it. One of my goals in life is to save up the roughly 24,000 Euros it would take to buy my own cave there.

(The #174 thing is a lie, because there actually are no interesting things about me. The cave part is all true, though.)

I like spinach! And I'm a fraternal twin.

Me

Hmm... a fact about me.. My SO found out I read slash when he was fixing my computer and while transferring my files found my stories. Yeah I was mortified since it was my guilty pleasure. He just laughed, he said what every makes you happy.

[grainnesgeul.livejournal.com]

My only opinion about spinach is that it's healthier than iceberg lettuce.

Today I confiscated one Palm Pilot, one bag of chips, and one print-out of porn. And taught the usage of commas.

Pet peeve: people who say "ideals" when they mean "ideas".

[philexos.livejournal.com]

I can't run. My knees are just bone rubbing together. *heh*

TMI?

[jennifus.livejournal.com]

My personal goal is to have a baby by the time I'm 22. Which gives me a little over 2 years to find someone who isn't a complete asshat to father it. Wee!

Well, right now I'm a leetle bit doped up from painkillers perscribed by my dentist for the gaping holes left in my mouth from my wisdom teeth, which I had taken out this morning.

In other news, I lust for Orlando Bloom's ankles, especially the right, which I have taken upon myself to name Bill (the left is called Ted).

And, yes, T.S. Eliot is my sooper sekrit boifrend.
